In love matters keep your pen from paper.
Alfred de Musset
Image
Reading activates and exercises the mind. Reading forces the mind to discriminate. From the beginning, readers have to recognize letters printed on the page, make them into words, the words into sentences, and the sentences into concepts. Reading pushes us to use our imagination and makes us more creatively inclined.
Benjamin Carson
Image
Words had started swimming off the page, circling my head, the letters doing one-eighties as if they were riding skateboards.
Rick Riordan
Image
Being from a divorced family almost felt like a scarlet letter at times. And I denied it for a long time.
Bryan Cranston
Image
Never so long as you live, write a letter to a man - no matter who he is - that you would be ashamed to see in a newspaper above your signature.
Emily Post
Image
At one time I thought the Editor of the Lancet would kindly publish a letter from me on the subject, but further reflection led me to doubt whether so insignificant an individual would be noticed without some special introduction.
William Banting

A manifesto, a diary, a crumpled suicide note, and a still relevant love letter.
Art Spiegelman
Image
Heav'n first taught letters for some wretch's aid, Some banish'd lover, or some captive maid.
Alexander Pope
Image
The cabinets of the sick and the closets of the dead have been ransacked to publish private letters and divulge to all mankind the most secret sentiments of friendship.
Alexander Pope
Image
I'm not a political thinker, but I've just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck.
David Walliams
Image
When I think of the library of Alexandria and of the fact that, although it burnt down, people continue to sort the letters of the alphabet according to that tradition, then that makes certain expressions of modernity, even of interventions on the textual level, possible.
Alexander Kluge
Image
I grew up treating a life as a writer as a career in letters, one devoted to many kinds of writing. And so it seemed normal to study both fiction writing and the literary essay as an undergrad.
Alexander Chee
Image
O ay, letters - I had letters - I am persecuted with letters - I hate letters - nobody knows how to write letters and yet one has 'em, one does not know why - they serve one to pin up one's hair.
William Congreve
Image
I hadn't heard the Gary Cooper thing so I'm not grounded now. I feel pretty good. That's incredibly nice. When I met Robin [Williams] at the read-through, I remember when he came in, I was so nervous meeting him for the first time is incredible because I did actually write him a letter when I was a kid and told him he was my favorite actor.
John Krasinski
Image
What happened to romance? Sappy, soppy longhand love letters.
Alex Flinn
Image
This is a free country. Folks have a right to send me letters, and I have a right not to read them.
William Faulkner
Image
My friends all regarded me as a man of unsound mind because I held the view that my wife was with me in spirit always. I have lived with her spirit guiding me every day and she is with me now as I write this letter, and helps me to do as I am now doing.
Alex Campbell
Image
But what can you say in a letter?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Image
The love of letters is the forlorn hope of the man of letters. His ruling passion is the love of fame.
William Hazlitt
Image
I know there's a lot of talk about self-publishing right now. Everyone's giddy with the possibilities. And I'll admit that it looks good on paper: sell your books directly and keep a bigger chunk of the profit for yourself. No rejection letters. No hassle with agents. Sounds good, right?
Patrick Rothfuss

Not until I came to Canada did I realize that snow was a four-letter word.
Alberto Manguel

When I was in elementary school, I used to write letters to myself. I'd write letters and go 'Dear Kristen-at-16-years-old, happy birthday. I hope you're doing something.'
Kristin Kreuk

I got a letter from 13-year-old Ryan from Belfast. Now, Ryan, if you're out in the crowd tonight, here's the answer to your question. No, as far as I know, an alien spacecraft did not crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. And, Ryan, if the United States Air Force did recover alien bodies, they didn't tell me about it, either, and I want to know.
William J. Clinton

Death to all modifiers, he declared one day, and out of every letter that passed through his hands went every adverb and every adjective.
